Kendrick Lamar – “m.A.A.d City” (feat. MC Eiht) (prod. Sounwave)

What can I say about the name Kendrick that you haven’t heard? His album Good Kid, M.A.A.D Citywas the greatest album of 2012, and is rated, in my own and critics’ opinions, as one of the best rap albums of all time. A song that I feel is supremely underrated is this, m.A.A.d City, and its one of the best shining examples of Kendrick Lamar‘s talent of divine storytelling, impeccable lyrical structure, and buttery flow that rivals a more softer-edged Notorious B.I.G. vibe. I can’t describe a person like him as just any other rapper, but I can say is that he has the potential to be one of the absolute greatest of time, perhaps even venturing deeper down that very list.

This song is heavily centered around Kendrick‘s “mad city”, a Compton that is a warzone, and with a visible Kendrick that is neutral, an observer, a perspective on thug life is made that has never existed before. At the same time, however, an ingenious lyrical flow is laid forth, a truly captivating and grasping speech that holds one’s focus.
